I am just wondering if anyone can take a picture of a Hammerli 480k manometer that is on the end of the pressure tube and post it or email it to me.

I am adding a gauge to my 10m pistol and am looking for a nice looking one like the Steyr or FWB pistols have. I found a place that has the Hammerli 480k gauge in stock but I don't know what they look like. If it is easier you can email it to me...my email address should be in my profile. Thanks...I really appreciate it. Mark

hi Mark sorry but the gauge will not work as a inline one it is a snap screw which means you have to tighten it on and then the last thread you twist it fast to get a reading it wont work if you just screw it on and leave it to check how many shots you have left i have tried that already plus its an ugly mother and weight wise heavy
but lel me know if you still want the pics

Thanks for the pics...your right, it is big. I machined a new air tube end and cover for my Pardini K2S last night and mounted a regular gauge I had laying around. It turned out nice but I really want a guage like the Steyr or FWB's have to mount at the end of the tube. Even with this gauge I am much happier with this than the way Pardini used the cap and 3 rings to show where the pressure was at.

did you want the gauge for looks or to gauge your shots because my 480k2 can shoot three comps and still have some left so i don't worry about how much air is in the cylinder

by the way nice Pardini
i prefer the gauge on the hammerli to the one on your pardini ,it gives how many shots are left, it is also very accurate as well which i find unusual for a screw on gauge.
